Capitals to start Neuvirth against Maple Leafs

Neuvirth had been sidelined by a lower-body injury and the Capitals have been carrying three goalies since his return. However, rookie Philipp Grubauer has earned the majority of playing time while Braden Holtby, the No. 1 at the start of the season, has struggled.

Holtby will serve as the backup Friday while Grubauer is a healthy scratch.

Neuvirth is 2-3-1 this season with a 2.83 goals-against average and .912 save percentage.
